Sprinkle Cookies
Description
This recipe starts with creaming softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar to create a smooth base. An egg and extra yolk with vanilla extract are added for richness. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt are whisked separately then gradually incorporated into the wet mixture to form a soft dough. The dough is shaped into tablespoon-sized balls, then rolled firmly in nonpareil sprinkles to coat their surface completely, creating a colorful outer layer.
The cookies bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 9 to 10 minutes until just set, maintaining a soft center with the edges slightly firmer. Cooling on the baking sheet helps sprinkles adhere while the cookies firm up. This finished treat pairs well with tea or milk and makes a bright addition to celebrations or everyday snacking.
